Chapter 674: The Fire Pot Blocks the Enemy
Jin Yihu's head shook like a drum, and said: "Our 'Baiyue Gang' is just a small gang, and there are very few disciples under it, and the strength is far inferior to the big gangs here, how can we take on such a heavy responsibility? I think it's better for the Hu Sect Master to take people there!"
Hu Qingfeng, the head of the "Brown Cloth Gate", said hurriedly: "Gang Master Jin, don't you want to joke around! The strength of this sect is the weakest family here, and it won't be our turn no matter what! Whoever takes the lead, let's listen to Young Master Hua and Elder Liu's orders!"
Hua Bushi's face sank like water, and he turned his eyes to Shan En, the head of the "Yaxing Gate", Xu Chundao, the master of the "Fubo Temple", and Yuan Bang, the young castle master of the "Water Moon Castle", but saw that these three people all hung their heads to avoid his gaze, obviously afraid of being named as a pioneer by this young master.
The thoughts of the principals of these sects, how could Hua Bushi not know. They did not dare to openly disobey the "Luohan Sect", but also wanted to try their best to preserve the strength of their own sect and not to be cannon fodder, all of them had the attitude of fishing in troubled waters and getting by, even if they were really forced to fight, most of these people would not exert much combat power.
Hua Bushi's eyes turned, swept over the people sitting at the table, zuihou fell on the little beauty Yuan Qian, her expression softened, and the corners of her lips also showed a smile, and said: "Do we want to fight, who will we send to take the lead, I don't know if Yuan Xiaomei has a high opinion?"
After all, Yuan Qian was young and didn't have too many city mansions, so she replied: "Then Chu Changting's martial arts are powerful, we are not opponents of others, how can we fight?
The first person to say that he was going to fight just now was Liu Yuanhe. This time, Fang Changsheng sent this Elder Liu and Yuan Xi to accompany him, saying that he was helping Hua Bushi to lead the group of heroes, but in fact, he was also responsible for overseer, and he only brought two ordinary disciples of the "Luohan Sect" with him, and it was impossible for anyone to rush the ship formation of the underworld water bandits. Hearing Yuan Qian's words at this time, Liu Yuanhe couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Qian'er, shut up, don't talk nonsense!" It was Yuan Qian's brother Yuan Bang who reprimanded him, he had already seen that Liu Yuanhe's face was not good, and he didn't want to offend this Elder Liu for no reason.
Hua Bushi waved his palm and said, "Young Master Ben thinks that what Yuan Xiaomei said is very reasonable. Not only is Chu Changting's martial arts strong, and we are invincible, but the underworld people of 'Peach Blossom Village' have been based on the Yellow River for a long time, and they are good at water warfare, if we take the liberty to fight them, there is really no chance of winning, and this battle is still not good!"
He turned his eyes to Ji Xiong and said, "What does Master Ji think?"
That Ji Xiong was originally a ** lake that saw the wind and made the rudder extremely fast, and he was afraid that Hua Bushi would send his sect to take the lead, so he immediately responded: "Yes, yes, Ji also thought it was better not to fight." ”
Liu Yuanhe said angrily: "Why don't we fight! If we don't fight, how can we cross the river in front of us, and it will be difficult to pay Chu Changting to buy the road!"
Ji Xiong was speechless.
Hua Bushi smiled faintly and said: "This is also one of the methods, but my 'Evil Dog Gate' doesn't have so much money, since Elder Liu has this proposal, the silver taels for this road must be paid by the 'Luohan Gate'." ”
Ordinary darts to transport goods, encountered the underworld cut the path and robbed the road, but now Chu Changting and the "Fugui Alliance" have long colluded, this interception has another purpose, even if you spend more money, it is useless. Liu Yuanhe said this was just an angry sentence, but he was robbed by Hua Bushi, his heart was angry, and his old face turned red.
Yuan Xi saw that Liu Yuanhe was about to have a seizure, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Uncle Shi is angry, spending money to buy roads is just a joke, where can we take it seriously? Let's listen to what Young Master Hua thinks." ”
Liu Yuanhe held back his anger and said, "Okay, Young Master Hua, tell me what your plans are?"
Hua Bushi said: "Young Master Ben's plan, it's the same as what Yuan Xiaomei said just now, it's better not to fight if you can't fight, let's set up camp first and wait for a few days." ”
Liu Yuanhe said: "How many days will it take? Senior Brother Fang has made arrangements for dividing the troops into three routes, and I must wait for this group of people to rush to Mengjin before the fifteenth of this month, how can I wait here for a long time?"
Hua Bushi said: "It's not necessarily a long wait, maybe in three or two days, Chu Changting has something else to do and withdraws his troops, and we can go over." ”
Liu Yuanhe said: "Nonsense! Since Chu Changting is coming to intercept us, where will he withdraw casually, we have no other way than to rush over!"
Hua Bushi's face had sunk, but before he could say anything, Chu Yiyi, who was sitting beside him, had already spoken: "Elder Liu, when you set off from Kaifeng City that day, did Master Fang say who was the person in charge of this passerby?"
Liu Yuanhe said: "I am Young Master Hua. ”
Chu Yiyi said: "Since it is my son-in-law's business, he has already decided to camp here and wait, why do you need to talk more?"
Liu Yuanhe was angry in his heart, but he couldn't refute it, that day, Fang Changsheng had indeed handed over all the forty-three sects of the waterway to the commander of Hua Bushi, although he had always looked down on this "evil dog boy", but he did not dare to disobey the orders of the head of the family.
Hua Bushi slapped the table and said, "Okay, then it's decided!" I'll set up camp first, if you still have any objections, if you want to take the lead, just put them forward, and Young Master Ben will also be very welcome!"
Except for Liu Yuanhe, the heads of the other six sects all had the same mind in mind, and none of them wanted to fight, Hua Bushi's decision was exactly what they wanted, and of course no one would raise objections.
Ji Xiong and the others immediately echoed it, saying that Young Master Hua was clever, and it was really the wisest move to camp at this time.
But he heard Yuan Xi say: "Young Master Hua, even if we don't camp here, Chu Changting will most likely attack us, but I'm afraid that it will inevitably lead to a battle." ”
Hua Bushi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Yuan Shaoxia this time, Young Master Ben has already prepared two treasures, which are specially used to deal with Chu Changting, take one out first, and the fleet called the underworld can't attack it." ”
Yuan Xi said: "But I don't know if it's He Bei, can you open Yuan's eyes?"
Hua Bushi said with a smile: "When Chu Changting sends a ship to attack, Yuan Shaoxia will naturally know." ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Chu Changting is the chief scoop of the 'Yujing Underworld Alliance', leading dozens of underworld shili in Yujing, and there are more than 1,000 people in the cottage of Taohuayu. Now in front of the fleet of the "Evil Dog Gate" and the forty-three Baidao sects, more than thirty warships have been gathered, all of which are under his command.
These warships lined up and blocked the entire length of the Yellow River, and the decks of each warship were full of swords or bows and arrows. Seeing this scene, the heroes of the various White Dao sects were all secretly surprised in their hearts.
However, this kind of situation is really nothing in Hua Bushi's opinion.
On that day in the South China Sea, he had experienced the battle of hundreds of ships, and the formation of these thirty or forty small boats could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to the "Five Dragons Great Array" or "Thousand Scales Water Array" laid out by the Ryugu tribe in front of Okura Island that day.
Of course, Hua Bushi also understood that although Chu Changting's underworld centaurs were far inferior to the pirates of the Black Dragon Palace, they were not the ships of the forty-three White Dao sects.
Not to mention that these people in the White Dao have different intentions and are unwilling to contribute, even if they can join forces to fight, these sects are all on land, and the vast majority of their disciples have no experience in fighting with people and water, and many of them don't even know how to swim, and they will definitely suffer a big loss against the underworld water gangsters who have been looting on the Yellow River for many years.
Therefore, Hua Bushi saw the other party's fleet blocking the road from a distance, so he immediately ordered the boat to stop, and then set up a water village on the spot, came to a strong wall to clear the field, and held on.
Regarding the method of Anza Water Village, he experienced many water battles in the South China Sea that day, and Hua Bushi also learned a little bit and had a little experience. After his dispatch, thirty wooden boats were arranged in a spiral shape in the middle of the river, and there was also a bit of a strict guard.
Most of the masters of the White Road have the problem of arrogance and self-esteem, especially the characters in the famous factions such as the "Luohan Gate" or the "Shaolin School", if Liu Yuanhe led the team, he would definitely order the ships to rush up and fight the underworld people.
The conservatism of the Bai Dao fleet was obviously a bit unexpected by Chu Changting. After watching and confronting for a long time, the warships of the underworld began to attack, so Hua Bushi's previous preparation of haode baby finally made his debut.
This so-called treasure is ten stone machines and hundreds of clay pots, all of which were made by Hua Bushi when he was in Kaifeng Mansion a few days ago, and loaded on the ship of the "Evil Dog Gate" and transported all the way.
The range of the crockpot projected by the stone machine was about fifty or sixty zhang. These crockpots were all filled with black oil, and when they were ignited, they were fired, and when they were smashed on the wooden boats, they would immediately catch fire, and even if they fell into the water, they would cause a fire to rise on the river within a radius of several feet.
Ten stone generators were fired at once, forming a wall of fire above the river in a matter of moments.
Once Hua Bushi's treasure was sacrificed, the underworld fleet that attacked it immediately suffered a loss. Among the five or six warships that rushed ahead, two were directly hit and caught fire, and the other few hurriedly turned around and left, and only then did they escape.
After all, the water robbers on the Yellow River were not regular naval fleets, and their warships were not equipped with Hongyi artillery, and the only weapons used for long-range attacks were giant crossbows and bows and arrows, and their range was only about 50 zhang. The existence of these ten stone generators is enough to make these underworld warships inaccessible, and even if they want to shoot at them with long-range weapons, they are not within range and do not cause much damage.
The distance of fifty or sixty zhang is not very far, and if Chu Changting can be ruthless enough to order a large-scale attack, he may not be able to rush through the wall of fire. However, if this is the case, at least half of his warship will be burned, and this chief scoop in the underworld must still be a little reluctant to suffer such losses.
